Correct application
This dryer must only be used for drying
articles which were washed in water and
which have a care label stating that the
article is suitable for machine drying.
To prevent the risk of fire, the
following textiles must not be dried in
this machine:
– fabrics which contain a large proportion of
rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like
materials.
Do not unload laundry from the drum
until after the cooling down phase has
been completed.
Hot laundry can self ignite and cause a fire
when folded or put away.
Technical and electrical safety
The electrical safety of this machine can
only be guaranteed if connected to a
correctly installed earthing system on site. It
is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested regularly,
and where there is any doubt, the on-site
electrical wiring should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the consequences
of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
– items which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents.
–
items which have been splashed with hair
lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or
similar substances.
–
items which have been soiled with oils or
residues containing grease (kitchen oils,
cosmetics etc.).
–
items soiled with wax or other chemicals
(e.g. mops and floor cloths).
–
items with padding which has been
damaged, e.g. pillows and jackets.
–
items soiled with grease or oil which have
not been properly cleaned beforehand.
Use heavy-duty detergents where
necessary to clean very dirty garments,
e.g. workwear. If necessary consult the
detergent manufacturer for advice.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when it
is switched off at the isolator switch or the
mains fuse has been withdrawn.
Repairs to electrical and gas heated
appliances should only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent person in
strict accordance with current local and

Warning and Safety instructions
This machine must not be operated in
the same room as dry cleaning
machines which use solvents containing
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Escaping
vapours break down during combustion into
hydrochloric acid which can have a
detrimental effect on both the laundry and
the machine. Even when such machines are
installed in separate rooms, care should be
taken to ensure that no exchange of air can
take place.
The dryer must have a constant supply
of fresh air. Vapours containing chlorine,
fluorine or other solvents must not be able to
reach the dryer.
The ventilation inlets to the dryer are
located at the back of the machine.
These must not be blocked or hindered in
any way. Do not cover the machine lid with
cloths or similar items.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily
flammable liquid must not be stored or
used near the machine. Fire and explosion
risk!
To ensure the correct performance of the
machine and to prevent the risk of faults
and fire, it is important to check the machine
and carry out maintenance on a regular
basis.
Use
This machine must only be used when it
is connected to a suitable ducting
system. The installation site must be
adequately ventilated.
This tumble dryer is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the machine by a person responsible for
their safety.
Do not use a machine with damaged
controls or cables. These must be
repaired before it is used again.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features, fixtures and control
elements of this machine.
Any removable outer panels must be
back in place, and all moving or
electrical parts shielded before the machine
is switched on.
To prevent the risk of injury or scalding
components carrying steam must not be
touched.
Always make sure that the drum is
stationary before reaching into the
machine to remove laundry. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous.
Never use the machine without the
built-in fluff filter in place. Fire risk.
A damaged fluff filter must be replaced
before the machine is used again.
Otherwise fluff and lint will cause a blockage
in the airways, the heating and the vent
ducting, and the correct functioning of the
machine cannot be assured.
Cleaning and disinfecting agents often
contain chlorine-based substances. Do
not let such agents come into contact with
the stainless steel surfaces, as the chlorine
can have a corrosive effect and cause rust.
Use chlorine-free agents for washing and
disinfecting and also for cleaning stainless
steel surfaces to protect them from
corrosion. If in doubt, confirm with the
manufacturer that their product is suitable. If
any agent containing chlorine comes into
contact with the stainless steel surfaces,
wipe it away immediately with clean water.
Then dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or
hose to clean the machine.
This machine is not a toy! To avoid the
risk of injury, never allow children to play
on or near the machine or to operate it
themselves.

The gas mains connection point and the
gas connection to the machine should
be switched off for all cleaning and
maintenance work and in the event of a fault.
Safety precautions to take if you smell
gas
Turn off the gas emergency control valve
–
immediately. (Usually located near the gas
meter).
Eliminate all sources of ignition in a safe
–
manner. Do not smoke, light cigarette
lighters or matches.
Do not operate electrical lights or
–
switches, either "On" or "Off".

Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. If other
parts are used, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Before disposing of an old machine, first
make the door lock unusable. This way
you will prevent children from accidentally
locking themselves in and endangering their
lives.
Keep these instructions in a safe and
accessible place.
– If the smell of gas persists, evacuate the
building.
You must now:
– In the U.K. call TRANSCO (0 800 111 999)
– Arrange for an appointment of a Corgi
registered gas installer to visit the site
(Talking pages 0 800 600 900)
In other countries please follow relevant
country specific procedures.
Warning: After installation, maintenance,
conversion, repairs and before using for the
first time it is essential that a test for possible
leakages is carried out. All components
which carry gas must be checked, including
the gas valve and burner jets.
In the U.K. this must be carried out by a
Corgi registered technician.
Particular attention must be paid to the test
nipple on the gas valve.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has
been selected from materials which are
environmentally friendly for disposal and can
normally be recycled. Packaging e.g. cling
film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must
be kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these materials
away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines often
contain materials which, if handled or
disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however, essential
for the correct functioning of your machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it with
your household waste.
Tips on saving energy
Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly
spun before drying. This saves time and
energy.
Rinsing the laundry using hot water in the
final rinse helps to reduce the residual
moisture level, and the residual heat in the
laundry will help keep processing time
down, thus saving energy.
Sort textiles according to:
- fabric and weave,
- drying level required,
- similar size and residual moisture levels.
For greater economy dry a full load.
Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading
will impair the drying result and the laundry
finish.
Ensure that the room is well ventilated.
Please dispose of it at your local community
waste collection/recycling centre, and
ensure that it presents no danger to children
while being stored for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person. See the "Warning and
Safety" section of this booklet for further
details.
